This project focuses on mapping patterns of eBird participation to develop best practices for visualizing the spatial and temporal quality and quantity of submitted data. By sharing data coverage information with the public in a cartographically clear manner, we can enhance understanding of the project and improve the utility of submissions by inspiring participants to collect more data in poorly covered areas.

For this Interactive Design class project, we were assigned a client and asked to design an identity and wireframe for a new website. My wireframe was chosen as the client favorite and handed off to a hired developer for completion.

As part of a User Experience in Design course at the University of Minnesota I conducted a month-long user study and wireframing project I with three other students. Our client was Check & Connect, a student engagement intervention program in which mentors work one-on-one with teenage students at risk of dropping out. Over years of documented work, Check & Connect (C&C) had demonstrated the long-term success of their mentors' interventions, but their paper-based system of tracking data on students and interventions was limiting their potential for deeper analysis. They asked us to develop wireframes and recommendations for building a web-based interface for mentors to input and learn from their data.

Walkable Downtown Minneapolis is a pitch I delivered to the Minneapolis Downtown Improvement District during a university course called User Experience in Design. It's a simple, no-frills video meant to deliver the pitch in an easily shareable medium – video. This campaign highlights the walkability of downtown Minneapolis through location-specific information pieces that reveal the walk time, in minutes, to just a few key points of interest.
